Everyone Interested in college sports views the National Collegiate Athletic Association with a critical eye now and then Too often the members themselves taka pot shots at the policies But the NCAA has been in business for 50 years and in its golden anniversary year the membership of better than 450 is greater than at any time in its history Mostly you hear about the NCAA through the strong dissents by some of the more powerful members to its television policies Or through its basketball tournaments or perhaps its track meets These are the more newsworthy parts of functions But less publicized items mean a lot to a great many people The NCAA now gets out the official Football Guide and the Guide has never been better The infinite trouble of assembling scores and records of 450 colleges must run to thousands of man hours And the Basketball Guide requires even more work since more colleges play basketball If there is an official All-American team then the fills the bill Because in co-operation with the Football Writers Association it compiles a concensus that incorporates the choices of all the pickers Furthermore should there ever be a means of deciding a national champion in football theiiCAA will have to be the clearing house GAIN FOR MEMPHIAN Stephenson of Vender-bijt former iter end for East High here inags a pan for 12 yards during the first quarter

last year put Ohio State and UCLA on an equal basis the first time for co-champions The previous year it was Maryland in 1952 Michigan State and the year before Tennessee It is interesting to note too

First Half The NCAA haa taken a pretty firm stand on bowl games and partly through its influence some of the more mercenary angles of the New operations have been lopped off It is perhaps because fthese remedial measures that the two service teams have relaxed their policy on bowl games Navy played in the Sugar Bowl last Jan 1 and Army has indicated that If the team Justifies an invitation it will be accepted Sooner or later Notre Dame always cordial toward the bowls but never receptive to a bid will relent So it ia conceivable that if the bowls ever get around to the point of really matching the beat teams in the United Statei the NCAA would be the medium The proposition looks tremendously farfetched with four major bowls claiming attention but it certainly isn't impossible
